An Environmentalist = Lying Piece of Shit

Here's an easy way to cut through the clutter of news today, anyone that labels themselves an "Environmentalist' is most likely a lying Piece of Shit. From MMGW to renewable energy, environmentalist have to use lies and deception to get at our money. Here is an example of how federal employees helped environmentalists spread more lies.

The Energy Department worked closely with the wind industry lobby to discredit a Spanish report that criticized wind power as a job killer, internal DOE e-mails reveal.

The e-mails obtained from a Freedom of Information Act request show how, starting last April, lobbyists at the American Wind Energy Association became alarmed that lawmakers were citing a study by Spain's King Juan Carlos University. The study found that Spain's massive investments in wind power cost 2.2 jobs for every "green" job created.

The study came out in early 2009 just as the wind lobby was building up its presence in Washington, hoping it could score big in an energy bill then being debated in Congress. Industry lobbyists feared the Spanish study would halt momentum for pro-wind legislation.

Check out the findings again. Wind power investments cost 2.2 jobs for every job created. California has also found that their green jobs program has cost the state jobs.

There are a ton of reasons why real unemployment is at 17% and the green movement is one of them. The millions transfered to Al Gore's bank accoutn had to come from somewhere and each dollar wasted has a cost in the private sector. We could increase employment tomorrow if we threw every environmentalist out of Washington and St. Paul.

I had to laugh at the wind generators that froze up here this winter. Yes sir, money well spent.
How have those solar panels been working out the last couple of days?

Generalize much?

Some of his Repub congresssional colleagues knew Mark Foley was sending inappropriate texts to pages. Clearly all Repubs in Congress are scum who don't care about sexual misconduct. That the way it works?

When he was Reagan's Attorney General, Ed Meese said all suspects are guilty or they wouldn't be suspects. Clearly everyone in Reagan's justice dept believed trials were a waste of time.

General Boykin said, "I knew that my God was a real God and his was an idol," so clearly we're engaged in a holy war.

Stupid much?

There's a new sheriff, and he don't take kindly to "stupid".

Hey Odin, you're GOING to dial that crap back in short order. YOu've been warned before, so now let me make it perfectly clear to you. This is your first warning under the new regime. If I have to repeat it, there won't be a second chance. If you can't try just a bit harder than that, you don't belong here.

Interesting that on Kos
written by Odin , March 11, 2010

I've told exmearden that she was "stupidly universalizing," told Hunter that his crap was "mostly worthless" and characterized Atkins' latest offering as "dishonest crap," yet nobody there, not Kos or any of the other moderators or diarists have even reprimanded me, let alone censored or suggested banning me. They don't usually like my criticisms, but none of them get their undies in a bunch.

How is it that that the liberal diarists on Kos are tougher when it comes to taking criticism than youse guys?

I spent a couple months at a Vietnam War site telling the veterans there why I thought their service was immoral. That would seem to be a lot more offensive (to them) than anything I've said here, but when one of the moderators suggested banning me, they overwhelmingly spoke out against it. How is it that they have more respect for the right to free speech than youse guys?

I see a lot of you characterizing Obama and others as POS, stupid, etc., and you seem to think that's kosher, but you somehow seem to believe you should be treated with more respect than you treat others. How do you rationalize that to yourselves?

I think you should decide what you want this site to be - a place where rightwingers churn out infantile propaganda or a place where people have freewheeling discussions without worrying about their lil feeeeelings being hurt. I don't understand the "WAAH!" response from people who are ostensibly adults. I also don't understand the bluff, then fold tactic a lot of your rightwingers employ. What does it get you?

I came here because Kersten's column in the Strib ended and I told Barnes I wouldn't be back until Katherine was. It seemed fitting to come to the Anti-Strib to demonstrate my displeasure. She's back now so I can post there if youse guys can't take what you try to dish out.

Odin, what you don't get, what you fail to understand is - THIS ISN'T YOUR BLOG. You will follow the rules we have established here. Your 'contributions' are subpar at best. Every one of your posts have insults in them. We established this new version of the blog to try to create a forum for folks to have a more civilized discussion. even if you don't like the content of hte post, it is incumbent upon YOU to craft your responses in a way that argues your point without insults. Are you incapable of handling that? If so, YOU need to ask yourself why? The bottom line is this - If you don't like it the rules, then get the hell out. The rules are simple. You've been asked to stop doing this crap multiple times, how many times does it take? If you are unable to understand what is expected, if folks round there here parts aren't smart enough for you to discuss things with, then yes, you should find the door. If you can follow very simple rules, then feel free to post and partake in the discussions until kingdom come. HOpefully at some point you'll have something valid to offer. I mean that.

and with that, threadjack is over. stay on point, and if you have issues with this, email me offline. That is all.

The rules need to apply to everybody Jim. That's the double standard that has always existed here. Odin's insults are typically in kind to those hurled in his direction. What's it going to be.

Apart from my recent post

When I finally told Odin that he is an asshole, he has been treated better than he treated most people here.

We have rules and I got too busy to enforce them. Jim has taken up the challenge. We had a blog that consisted of Fuck You posts and it sucked. I spent some $$ to create this place to avoid that.

Follow the rules or get the fuck out.

Deputy Dawg is a Mick?

Odin, what you don't get, what you fail to understand is - THIS ISN'T YOUR BLOG

Let's see. . .

Own the domain name? . . . No.
Able to choose moderator(s)? . . . No.
Able to post diaries? . . . No.
Able to edit blog? . . .No.

What the . . .? You're right! This isn't my blog!!! Who'd a thunk it?

Your 'contributions' are subpar at best.

Undoubtedly true if the metric is furthering rightwing propaganda. I don't imagine Goebbels would've appreciated 'contributions' pointing out that every Jew wasn't a "stupid," "lazy," "Lying Piece of Shit."

We established this new version of the blog to try to create a forum for folks to have a more civilized discussion.

I could tell that from the new and improved titles. Hard to get more civilized than - "An Environmentalist = Lying Piece of Shit." I don't see how anyone could read that and not think Here's a person who wants to have a more civilized discussion. Then there was his "Douchebag" diary. Some people might say that was a bit crude but I say we've found someone to take Dorothy Parker's seat at the Algonquin Roundtable! I don't think it's fair to expect mere mortals (or even us gods) to match the impossibly high standards you've set for yourselves.
